Overview: Basic/Core Integration Field Menu

Basic lead data is information typically collected via a lead form — things like name, email address, and phone number.

Core Data is descriptive, behind-the-scenes information automatically collected when a respondent visits an ion experience. You can learn more about Core Data here.

Query string data is information passed to ion via a query string on the URL — such as UTM or other source tracking parameters.

If you select an ion Basic/Core Integration, you may need to create a limited number of fields in your target platform to receive these data points. The team here will collect the technical details needed, set-up and thoroughly test the integration. If you seek a more robust integration that includes Dialogue Data garnered from interactive content, a Global Dialogue Data or an Experience-Specific Dialogue Data solution could be a better fit. To learn more, please contact your Account Manager to get the ball rolling!
